The main tasks are: to analyze the key tendencies of development in certain types of creative institutions by the Ukrainian regions in 2008–2017; to compare the dynamics of quantitative growth of such institutions in Ukraine, Poland and Belarus; to specify the peculiarities of forming a cultural institutions network as a significant part of the creative industries in analysing countries based on the calculation of the Herfindahl index. Such scientific methods as analysis and synthesis, comparison, economic-statistical modelling are used.
The author has found out the main trends in the development of the creative industries due to the analysis of the dynamics of the number of such institutions as theaters, museums, libraries, film demonstrators and concert organizations by the Ukrainian regions because of crisis processes and has compared with the situation in this sector in Belarus and Poland.
